Wir haben schon die Wörter auf der Rückseite der Fotos auf 1-18-08.com gefunden, wenn Sie auf um etwas Anderes dann was sind?

 		Don't you just love it when an English speaker pretends to be a German on an online forum with Babelfish, and ends up looking like an ass? I mean, his guest name was "German" for god's sake...

Y'know, a psychological study or something is bound to be in order. Very Happy I've seen this at least a dozen times before. Maybe it's a security issue, they want to ask a question or spam, but they don't want to be recognized, and they figure they'll be forgiven if they don't speak the language well. The funny thing is, most people who actually speak languages other than English on this board are pretty hard to spot, the blend in with the general crowd really well in their grammar and spelling and such... I'm rambling.

Oh, and kudos for the brilliant subject title, !!!!??? sums it up pretty well. Smile

You don't have to be mean about it... although, his Name is 'German' :p

That would be "Versuche es das nächste Mal mit Babel-Fisch, mein Freund" to be honest Smile

And by the way, it's not wrong to write "Photos" in Germany, it's legal either way.

Actually he should have used used his brain and the search function. One of 378 photo-matches should work out quite nice. Why posting in a forum that you can hardly read is what i wonder mostly about. Wink
